Also: Midnight Mass

It’s not about sales, it’s about base price. And yes, Steam does consider “perpetual sales” a base price. They nearly kicked Ubisoft off Steam for that trick.

I disagree. Placeholder art should clearly be placeholder art. A stick figure made in Paint is a better placeholder than AI slop. It makes reviewing easier too. Plus you’re not burning tokens, compute and the environment for something that won’t make it into the game.

Gamers are clearly anti GenAI for assets. Any studio who uses GenAI for assets, even placeholders, is taking an easily avoidable risk. Players will find out.

You’re not that big and not that heavy. Rental shoes are probably the hardest problem you face. I suggest starting with bouldering so you can go alone if you want to. I’m 47 and weigh too much and I’ve been climbing for well over a year. It’s great! Also if the reddit guy can do it at 300 pound, so can you:

IMHO climbing gyms are much less judgemental and much friendlier than fitness gyms. Just go!

I highly recommend this game if you like survival games. Surprisingly great story too, which is really rare in this genre.

I’m on mbin. I can’t block them. Blocking them requires opening their profile page, and the page errors out because they have so many posts…

Thanks for the mod suggestions! At the moment I only use farseer (I like pretty vistas). Not being able to move chests was annoying but I managed. Auto map markers sounds useful!

Vintage Story! It’s hard core Minecraft for adults. It’s never on sale so don’t wait for that. It’s been really fun so far, both genuinely and in the Dwarf Fortress “fun” way. I’m coming up on my first winter with no tin for bronze, no warm clothing, only a single (but decent) harvest in my cellar and no livestock except for two boars without a sow to breed them with 😅

Have you seen the IPOs and the rule changes that the stock exchanges and index funds made to please the AI overlords? It’ll be US pension funds left holding the bag when the bubble goes pop

Yes, but on e.g. Epic store, it’s Epic itself doing the giveaway to get customers.

Steam doesn’t do giveaways. These are the devs or publishers themselves

I love my new clickety Keychron 😄

No love for Foundry? It’s really good!

Doing some math, it’s over $12 per gallon where I live (€2.50-ish per liter).

Nothing wrong with a good walking sim IMHO. Some of the best games I’ve played are walking sims (like S.O.M.A.)

Why not Brewdog if I may ask?

If I ever see someone wearing smart glasses near me I will slap them off their face.

Oh, that sounds nice! How does it work though? Are instances fully self-contained? Or is there cross instance federation or discoverability?

Mbin (like fedia.io and others) is also PHP, built on Symfony

But… They did have a medieval drama. It was called “Cadfael” and it was really good too!
